the f8x is severely under tired for WOT drag- first thing you do when you get one is to slap on wider rears. I have 295's rears and I live in So Cal, where it is usually nice and dry and the roads are decent. Drastically improved off the line traction.

The f8x throttle needs much more modulation and feathering than most cars I have driven, but if you have the patience to learn the technique, the M3 rewards you.
